Fourth Graders and their parents are invited to a special Stepping Stones workshop to explore the Bible and discover how it can be a source of comfort and guidance every day. Each student will receive a brand new Bible written for just for their age.

The workshop will also include:

A review of the divisions of the Bible, how the Bible came to us, and the importance of the Bible in our everyday lives.

Highlighting some key passages and important stories in the Bible.

Learning about how and where to find passages relating to particular topics.

Helping you and your child to reconnect around issues of faith and growing together.

The $35 registration fee includes the cost of the new Bible and a pizza snack.

This workshop will highlight what it means to be part of the family of God and how our own families carry on traditions, teachings and blessings. The cost is $10 per child for materials, but scholarships are available.

Please bring these additional items for the workshop:

Pictures of your family including grandparent(s) or great grandparent(s) to make a framed 12” x 12” scrapbook page (4 to 6 pictures). If you have scrapbook tools including: paper trimmer, punches, etc. to help complete the project, please bring them. We will provide paper, adhesive, some punches and a few paper trimmers.

An unmarked baby picture of yourself and of your child – for a game we will play that night

Anything about your child’s and your own baptism

Something unique, but related, to each of your generation’s entertainment technology: for example, a deck of cards and a PSP.

Baptism joins us to the body of Christ and to the mission we share as followers of Jesus. It is a celebration of Christian community and our common calling to live out our baptismal promises every day of our lives.

At Bethlehem, we will be celebrating baptisms during these specific weekends throughout the year:

February 11

April 15

June 3

August 5

October 7

We have chosen specific dates in order to better accommodate a full church calendar, but even more importantly, to be able to focus our worship services around baptism and explore more deeply the meaning it carries throughout our whole lives of faith.
